In all fairness ... ukiyo e was cheap as hell in it's time, and wasn't exactly meant to be high class, but the Europeans and Americans thought it was the finest art. I mean, don't get me wrong! It's beautiful and lovely art! I just think we Westerners went overboard with our weabooism.

all of these could've come from 1 country...and we wouldn't notice.
you definitely know the bottom one is from japan though.
more than beauty, art is culture.
it shows that japan does have heritage and does value its heritage, even though it might look ugly to you.

womanexplain (09/09/2015) [-] I'd argue that Japanese isolationism from 1936-1854 was a big reason behind such a rift in culture and art.

izdubar ONLINE (09/09/2015) [-] Yes, I remember the passage very well.
"If an enemy attempts to overwhelm your forces by farting in your direction on accessible ground, a wise general will not hesitate to use giant white paddles to deflect the farts back on his foes. Such general is truly a divine gift to his sovereign."

**thehistorylover rolled image**... I think that dude is a transgender person making a statement about how he does not really belong in a lady's bathroom.

The 19th century of Japanese art was the time of the Yōga period, which was when Japanese artists decided they wanted to be more like the westerners and paint in the expressionist style.
<Kuroda Seiki's "Woman Reading" (1890s)

quantumranger (09/08/2015) [-] Actually that's pretty true. Much of early anime was greatly influenced by western cartoons by Disney and his contemporaries.

thehistorylover (09/09/2015) [-] I'm calling some ******** on this. Different techniques were applied as time went on in Japan, just like in any other culture. Also, modern Japanese art isn't just anime. Take this modern artist's work, for example.

What is humorous about telling others that a country¨s art has not advanced since 11th century when it is obvious ******** ?

thehistorylover (09/09/2015) [-] ... I'm currently learning Japanese, on my own, with no teachers, at the age of 25. Why? I just really like how Japanese sounds and I want to know as much about it as possible. Do you have any tips for me? Sorry for bugging you. I just want all the information I can get. :3
I've currently learned hiragana, katakana, a few kanji, and a few extra words and phrases.
